My Favorite Chicken Marsala with Mushrooms Recipe

Recently I made a chicken Marsala with mushrooms recipe that blew my mind. Usually I'm someone who shies away from complicated entrées, so I was pleased to find that this famous Italian recipe is actually quite simple.

The thing that makes a good chicken Marsala recipe so delicious is the Marsala sauce. The sauce is made from butter, olive oil, mushrooms, Marsala wine, and either chicken stock or heavy cream. I would advise against purchasing cheap cooking wine as it always lacks the rich, smoky flavor for which Marsala is known.

I adapted this chicken Marsala with mushrooms recipe to be as simple as possible. I didn't bread the chicken and went easy on the spices; yet still found it to be delicious on its own. Feel free to adjust the amount of butter and add different herbs. I imagine you could even substitute the chicken with tofu and make a tofu Marsala recipe.

Some final pieces of advice when making a chicken Marsala with mushrooms recipe:

The chicken should be tender and juicy so try not to overcook.

Buy the best Marsala wine that you can afford.

You'll need a little patience when reducing the liquids. The wine should be initially reduced to the consistency of syrup. If the end result of your sauce is still too runny, add some cornstarch to thicken.

Remember that a thick Marsala sauce coats the other ingredients and makes everything flavorful and amazing!
